The “great trade deals” arguments are generally dishonest, but at least the xenophobes generally front up about their ignorance. It’s quite refreshing in a way.

Money isn't the only thing that people consider when forming their views on immigration. Not all are net contributors to the coffers anyway and, as I said before, the data on this doesn't paint the full picture.
I don't recall anybody saying that they "didn't like foreigners", that would be a very juvenile way of looking at it. I've employed one or two myself.
